Covid jab

Question

I am commencing chemotherapy next week for HER2 negative breast cancer. &nbsp;My question is should I get the Covid booster today? &nbsp;There has been so much controversy I am anxious.&nbsp;

Sorry to hear you still got Covid. &nbsp;This is scary and not too sure if it is helpful to have or not. &nbsp;I did get the booster in the end needing to trust the medical team. &nbsp;I hope your journey goes smoothly in the future.&nbsp;

Thankyou and yes I did find a place on the public holiday and ended up getting the jab. &nbsp;Not sure if it will be helpful or not.&nbsp;

So Sorry to see you joining us here&nbsp;Ando​ xx&nbsp; &nbsp; Feel free to tell us a bit more about your story so far xx Have you had your surgery already?&nbsp;&nbsp;Being a public holiday today, did you get the Covid shot? If no .... I'd suggest that you discuss the Covid injection with either your Onc, your Breast Care Nurse, or the Chemo nurses where you'll be having your treatment?&nbsp;&nbsp;take care &amp; all the best&nbsp;

I wouldn't like to make a recommendation either way. What does your team recommend?&nbsp;It's a decision that will need to be guided by their recommendations and your own personal beliefs. I'm very much proud any vaccination so wouldn't be giving a balanced view
